“It’s a diversified group. We have women who were theatrical personalities, businesswomen, literary figures,” MCNY’s costumes and textiles curator Phyllis Magidson told The Cut. “We have tremendous diversity with these women, and also in the fashions themselves — they really embody the profession and individuality of the wearer.” The objects are arranged by female "types" -- "Power and Business," "Old Society," "New Society," and "Arts and Culture."
